First Book in the Midnight Secrets Trilogy

At the beginning of "The Temptation" (the first book in the Midnight Secrets trilogy), 17-year-old Kendra Linton gains "a new stepfather (Graham Vanderman), a new stepbrother (Anthony), and a new home in less than an hour," all due to her compulsive mother's (Dinah) decision to marry a man she's barely met. Shortly after Dinah's announcement, Kendra and her younger sister (Lauren) move to Graham's atmospheric mansion hidden away in downtown Manhattan--quite the gothic setting smack in urban New York City, and just a stone's throw from their old apartment building.Here Kendra encounters the entity that has been haunting her recently: Revell, a handsome, charismatic man who wants to manipulate her unknown telepathic powers. Apparently, she has been marked as Revell's since infancy with a birthmark on her hand. However, as Kendra gets to know Revell better and uncovers some of her new family's secrets, she realizes Revell's motives are entirely sinister. But if she doesn't assist him, her family and friends will be in danger, though accidents start to happen to them anyway (including murder), partly the result of Kendra's out-of-control telepathy and partly Revell's doing.In a way, this book reminded me of a similar teen thriller: "Dream Date" by Sinclair Smith, which also involves a seductive entity that haunts a young woman. Worth looking into if you like young adult supernatural horror stories. And if you enjoyed "The Temptation", then don't miss the following two books in the Midnight Series trilogy: "The Thrill" (#2) and "The Fury" (#3).

very good book!!! March 30, 2002

this is really a great book i would recommend it to teens who like a bit of suspense. this is the beginning of the series when Kendra first meets Revell and wonders where this mysterious handsome stranger comes from. this is really a great book i read this book so many times if u ever wonder how Revell looks like u need to buy the second book The Thrill to find out. otherwise this is a exciting and suspenseful book that will keep u guessing until the end.

This book is awesome, and I would heavily recommend it.

"The Temptation" is a great book to read, if you are wantina an exciting book. It was truly written for young adults, and I hope to read more books by Wolff Ryp.

Triling

It was exiting at some parts exept at others it got a little confusing. I had to read some parts twice to fully understand it. Other than that it makes a lot of sense. I recomend this book if you like scary or "spooky" books. Also it's a good book for book projects. Believe me. I've been there and done tha
